La Sécurité

La Sécurité (Montreal / Tiohtià:ke) is a punk art collective that combines equal parts jumpy beats, off-kilter arrangements, and minimalistic melodic hooks. After years of writing earworms for the pleasure of beautiful weirdos, all the while strutting their style on tour with their many different projects (Choses Sauvages, Laurence-Anne, Silver Dapple, to name a few), the motley bunch now meanders the fringes of punk, new wave and krautrock.

Since its beginnings, the five-piece has been invited to perform at Reeperbahn, SXSW, Sled Island and FME, and shared the stage with Automatic, Orchester Tout Puissant Marcel Duchamp and Annie-Claude Deschênes (Duchess Says). The group offers us Stay Safe! (Mothland), a manic yet surprisingly laid-back album that will strike a chord with fans of Le Tigre, Automatic, Wet Leg, Devo, E.S.G. and The B-52’s.
